This discussion was part of a conference hosted by the Education Writers Association at georgetown university. Its just over an hour. Good morning, everyone. Thanks for coming to this panel. Im eric, Deputy Director at ewa. Today we are going to discuss an issue that has been getting just a little bit of attention these days, School Choice and especially private School Choice. I know that there is all sorts of forms of School Choice in this country and a lot of conversation about charters in particular, as well.

The cousins would be like tax credit scholarships and Education Savings Accounts. The latter is what one proponent called the cool new kid on the block.
